About Neal
Neal Reiersen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who uses practical, human-focused approaches to help people manage depression, anxiety, and life changes. He speaks plainly and offers a supportive, encouraging presence that helps people take small steps toward feeling better. Neal draws on ten years of experience in mental health to guide conversations and set achievable goals.
He leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take values-based action. Sessions emphasize self-reflection, acceptance, and learning simple skills that can be used between meetings. Neal also brings an existential perspective, inviting people to consider meaning and purpose as part of their healing.
Neal has experience helping people who have lived through trauma and guiding them through mood symptoms such as depression and anxiety. He also addresses issues like addiction, anger, parenting strain, and relationship problems by breaking concerns into manageable steps. His approach is collaborative - he follows the person's lead while offering tools and observations that nudge progress.
People can expect a calm, respectful tone and practical suggestions rather than theoretical lectures. Neal helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and experiment with new ways of handling stress and emotions. He encourages self-acceptance alongside efforts to change habits that cause pain.
If someone wants to explore therapy, Neal asks about current goals and worries, then works with them to set short-term actions. The work begins with small, concrete steps and builds from there.
